Henri IV Conferring the Regency upon Marie de' Medici is a 1834 oil by Eugène Delacroix, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a man and woman. The man is dressed in a white shirt, gold vest, and brown skirt, while the woman wears a brown dress with a white collar. A young boy in a red skirt and white shirt stands beside them. To the left, a man in black armor and a helmet looks on, while another man in a black suit and hat stands behind him. On the right, a woman in a yellow skirt and black top sits on a stone bench. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a blue sky, visible through an arched doorway. The overall atmosphere is one of formality and importance, with the figures arranged in a deliberate composition.
